No, this is just as bad.  It would be OK if there was not a separate
well-defined read-time, during which things like readmacros and so
forth get to do their thing.

I think it's quite important to be very clear about what happens when
in CL as there are so many points at which it is possible to intervene
in the process (we haven't even discussed compiler macros, for
instance).
